Mictēcacihuātl
This is the "B-Side" of a pair of puzzles:
A-Side: Mictlāntēcutli (Castle Wall + U-Bahn).
B-Side: Mictēcacihuātl (Castle Wall Delta + Directed U-Bahn).
I hope you enjoy them!
Lösungscode: The number of loop segments extending down from each row (except the last). (For the practice puzzle, the solution code would be 2232.)

Tough one! I loved the castle wall delta variant here. Regarding the solve path, I spotted the opener pretty quickly but then it was a slow process, chipping away at disparate parts of the grid, for a finish that, perhaps, was worth all the toil. Very consistent, but the endgame is truly all-time, a great reward for sticking with it. Thank you!!

At first I thought, what kind of strange rules are these? It's all the more amazing how well it worked. What a great idea!

great to see yet another one in the cwd family, this one maybe doesn't really have the same vibes, but the sources/sinks are super cool in it's own terms. also remarkable to see an u-bahn with so many connectivity deductions, esp given there is no connectivity in the rules :o)))

Two very clever puzzles!

Great pair of puzzles! Thanks :)
(Answer check did not work for me)
Reply: Thank you! Yeah, I'm not quite sure what's causing answer check issues. It's worked for some solvers and hasn't worked for others.

Such a cool twist on the U-bahn ruleset. I was not expecting my intuition with sources and sinks to work so well in the beginning!
